The dangers of sinful nature
Before the creation of the world God had concrete/solid plans for man
God's plan for Man is that man live peacefully and remain blameless. God's
Plan was perfect, as a matter of fact He has positioned man well even before
creation. Then at creation, He gave man His Life. The life of God has been
placed in Him.
Points to Note
God gave man some simple instructions, to guide man to stay blameless and stay
healthy according to the plan of God.
Which is understandable, as we also give our children instructions on what to
do, and how to do them, simple enough to accomplish because God has already
placed in man His nature, but man fell.
So what are the dangers of sinful nature?
1. It causes man to lose His state:-
The state of man is that He should be of God, Be in God and stay with God all
His Life but He lost that state;
The state of man is to be God's friend child and servant altogether but all
went Wrong
We could see Adam say in the book of Genesis that
2. Man will lose both spiritual benefit and Physical benefit:-
It is dangerous for God to be angry at Us but Adam and His wife Eve never
thought of this and they utter mostly lost the Garden of Eden which I tag
Physical blessing and They Lost
God's presence which I tag Spiritual loss
3. It will also make a man to lose His Life:-
God's proclamation to Eve and her husband is a proclamation of death, that’s
why the scripture says; in
Roman 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life
through Christ Jesus our Lord.
NLT
So God said in the book of
Genesis 3:19 that;
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the
ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will
return." NIV
4.
God’s presence and spirit will leave such a man:-
Saul was the most beautiful, handsome and even the tallest young man in His
days and God chose Him to be a king over the children of Israelite, but He
only obey God for Just 2 years and the rest of His reign was for nothing.
He did nothing but disobey God. And the proclamations of God through Prophet
Samuel was to destroy His Kingdom, which God later did and Even the bible
recorded it that the spirit of God left Him and the spirit of the devil from
God descended on Him.
Read; 1sam 16:14
Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and a harmful spirit from the
LORD tormented him.
ESV
Other people of God that sinned in the scripture and faced the
consequences:-
·
Samson: - He fell into the hands of His enemies through a woman Delilah by
Disobeying God and He died with His Enemies.
·
Ananias and Sapphira: - We all know the story of this couple as stated in the
Bible from the book of Acts 5:1-11, they lied to the spirit of God about their
own Land that they sold, Funny enough that it was their Land. Then the spirit
of God struck them
·
Solomon: - The Son of David, and a king who reign after His father, God
already made plans with David that kingship will not leave His household, but
through the misuse of the wisdom Solomon had, He broke the covenant and God
had to tear down the kingdom into Two, (NORTH and SOUTH).
·
And many more according to the scripture.
Conclusion:- He who sin is of the
devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning, as a Christian, the
devil will want to make us go against the will of God but it is best to Hold
unto our believe and not compromise. There are many more dangers of Sinful
nature but I have provided you with some of the points.
I pray that by the grace of God, we will be made Holy and God will order our
steps in making right decisions always. God bless you.
